The "Wilds" of the Adirondacks
Feel the experience of the
wildlife in the Adirondacks and surround yourself in nature's pleasures. Why
not get off the beaten path and back to nature. Our Adirondack streams are largely
unchanged since the colonial times. Pick up your pack back and let's
explore.
Mother Nature is evident here in the
Adirondack Park.
The Adirondack Park is 1,000
million years old, 6.1 million acres, 160 miles wide, 1 mile
high (43
mountains rise above 4,000 feet),
30,000 miles of streams, 1,500+ miles of rivers, 3,000 ponds and lakes,
53 species of mammals, 2,000 miles of trails. The
Adirondack Park is the largest publicly
protected area in the contiguous US (greater than Yellowstone,
Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon combined!). We have a lot of
life's zest to share! Whether it is
hiking,
birding,
fishing,
climbing, Mother Nature is abundant and here for you to explore.
Bring
you camera and your video!
Below we are starting a series
of our Adirondack Wilderness Region Reports. Our DEC does a marvelous job
of protecting our environment, but their reports are laborious to read. We
bring you an edited version for your quick study. After all,
the Adirondacks is about the outdoors, and we want to get you out from under the
desk lamp and into the sunshine (and yes, sometimes cold & rainy weather too to
make it an adventure you'll always remember). |
